Being that part of becoming your truth and who you are is heavily revolving around color and color psychology, why not show you an easy way to find your David Zyla romantic color in an easy easy way! But first.....who is David Zyla and what is your romantic color.
David Zyla is a well known stylist who created his own template for dressing in harmony with your natural coloring. As far as I am concerned we are all beautiful and it is really about working in harmony with ourselves to find that beauty. This way our harmony can be expressed outwardly with color and vigor. Zyla takes your body and its coloring into account when helping you find your color harmony. One is your romantic color. It is essentially that color you release when you blush. You can find it in your cheeks and by pinching your find tips.
That is the easy part. Being a beauty freak anytime I think of color I don't run to fabrics or paint swatches. I think in terms of makeup. I do this because it is accessible color description wise. MAC is my main go to because it describes its color right on their website. So when finding your romantic color I suggest referring to your favorite makeup website for comparison and if you own any of that brands lipsticks that resemble your now pinched finger tip or blushed cheeks you will find your romantic color with ease. This will also give you a base color with an actual name AND description making wearing that color in clothing etc much more easy to spot when shopping.
Now my Zyla romantic color is not definite yet but in these photos I am trying a lipstick I have at home and have researched it's color description. If you don't know makeup all that well go with fabrics or paint chips (they are free why not!). But it is a fun process! Makeup to me is very accessible with it's color descriptions so for me it makes it easier!
So first you want to pinch you finger tip:
Now here my my hands are really dry and extra red due to the dry weather but the point is that we are pinching our finger tip lol.
Next you can examine what you see. To my it is a rosy pink but it has depth. My first instinct was, oh this reminds me of my favorite Revlon lip butter in Sugar plum. So I decided to swatch it. Sugar plum is described as a natural muted mauve pink:
Right where my finger tip and thumb meet I got some sugar plum on my pointer and you can see that they blend really well, so one can conclude that there is a mauve undertone in there as well. Next I applied it down my thumb and in the crease of my palm. You palms are very close to the consistency of your lips so it is easier to see a color when applied to your palm not the back of your hand. It seems a tad dark on my palm but to me matches pretty well to my finger tip. I have been calling this my Zyla romantic color lately but it will probably change a few times.
I feel like when I wear this lipstick it has a natural look yet it enhances my coloring. Imagine that in a beautiful top, it would be gorgeous!
Here it is on my lips as well!
Have a great day all!
